BlazeMaster® Fire Protection Systems Streamlines Retrofit of Historic Courthouse

In this case study, you will learn how installing BlazeMaster CPVC helped meet the challenge of preserving the look and feel of a historic building while reducing material and labor costs by two-thirds compared to steel pipe.

Discover how BlazeMaster Fire Protection Systems met the challenge of retrofitting a century-old courthouse in Colorado. Using BlazeMaster CPVC instead of metallic pipe, the project delivered:

  • Cost savings. Fast, efficient installation enabled crews to work around the building’s original beams and framing to keep labor costs down.
  • Lightweighting. Because BlazeMaster CPVC is 84% lighter than Schedule 40 steel, it helped reduce the overall load on the courthouse – a key goal given the building’s age.
  • Design flexibility. The superior hydraulics of BlazeMaster CPVC supported the use of smaller diameter pipe that provided more room around historic structures.
  • Lower total cost of ownership. Unlike metallic pipe, BlazeMaster CPVC naturally resists corrosion which translates to lower long-term maintenance cost.

UL listed and FM approved for use in NFPA 13 light hazard occupancies, BlazeMaster CPVC is widely used in schools, offices, healthcare facilities and other commercial projects.
